AI Surveillance and Privacy
Coverage from The Conversation, LA Times, and others
AI can help agencies and organizations search and interpret large collections of surveillance footage and other digital records.
In law enforcement, uses include reviewing body-camera and drone video, traffic-camera recordings, license-plate data, and case files; tools can also assist with police report writing. These capabilities bring concerns about expanded surveillance, hidden bias, opaque outputs, and whether AI-assisted evidence can be fairly challenged. Governance questions include when AI use should be disclosed and how human review, independent audits, and traceability to source evidence can protect accountability and rights.
